From Alex T. If I may also ask in case there's time for it, what's a good way to facilitate the discipleship of children in a church plant? Do they join the main meeting or should we cater for Sunday school? Yeah, we generally, and I generally don't advocate for the Sunday School model. There's a lot that could be said on that. But the Sunday School Model is premised on age segregation. And in general, we advocate for family integration and being together.
The single best way to facilitate discipleship of children is to have a great family worship at home and to build your families around a great family worship. I have a message online, YouTube. It's called Core Discipleship Comes from Family Worship. I'd encourage you to listen to that. And I'll say that you know I have eight children now, and I'm watching them grow in their biblical thinking from teenage all the way down to baby. And it is exhilarating.
Absolutely delighting to hear your children in a daily context of walking with you through the Scriptures grow in their knowledge and love of God. So I would say that's by far the core, and we really need to make that the core. And then what we do is we have them join the main meeting. I require my children to take notes. And then what we do is we discuss the sermon afterward. We will actually use one of our family devotions as a way to discuss what they just heard to ensure there's comprehension.
And they're generally giving good respect and attention to whoever is preaching there. So I will say that's important. That's more the supplement than the core of what we do. But yeah, please, please, please devote a lot of time and energy to this there because discipleship begins at home in the family. And the church is very important in that, but it's number two after the family for the sake of your children.
Yeah, I've heard the term, I can't remember from who, but don't sacrifice your children at the altar of, I don't know, evangelism or church planting or church ministry, that children do become, but bring them into it rather than maybe separating them as a different thing. Yeah.
